Here we go again - 30,000 posts! And I was suppose to give access to the beta to the 30,000th poster today, but we totally missed this:( I guess with all activity in the beta forums someone there grabbed it:(

I`m still in shock we got to nearly 500 posts in the beta forum in under 48 hours:)

Anyway - happy 30,000th posts everyone!

(yeah it`s a long day in the office...)

A little something attached to help us celebrate.

Yeah Ship of the Line is huge, and fits something like 12 mini-trebuchets on it`s deck, as well as up to 60 archers. Human need a good ship capable of stopping these Krakens before they get close.

Yay! The humans show their true engineering talents again!:) Humans must own the seas!

Also, I love it how the orcs are the ones being completely owned by the one kraken.:D

Just one more question .... arent trebuchets more for buildings? Why not bigger arrow ballistas/catapults?

Have to agree with Kire, firing trebuchets acurately on a boat at sea, with waves coming and going, it would be a pain in the ass to fire it, yet alone hit something.:confused:

Make them inaccurate, then. But a barrage on a city by siege weapons on water... they're mobile, and a pain to try and destroy.

I am, though I hadn't totally decided yet.

Well it is said that this ship tries to stop kraken before he come to it. And we dont know anything about being able to siege castle from water =) (which would be only reason to have trebuchets i guess).
And noticed that sails are concentrated on one side ... wouldnt that make ship to turn over?

Where do you see them all being on one side? I see the masts as all in the middle. They all are in the middle of it and not lopsided to me. The sails also look to be nice and center.

Wow, that's a lot, and so many recently too, good activity! It's interesting seeing gunpowder completely out of a game, even a fantasy one, it changes the dynamic a lot doesn't it? No cannons, all wooden and stone artillery. I'm not used to seeing that type of weaponry on ships!

We don't know that for sure. Not everything has been included into the game. What about DLC and expansions?

Kire

06-26-2010, 04:41 PM

Well, personally, it would be interesting for humans to have just little gunpowder stuff. Since diversity is always nice =).

I do too, but I'm hoping the Dwarves have the gunpowder (that is, if they become a playable race).

I can't confirm anything right now, but I wouldn't be surprised if the dwarves have a bit of gunpowder to protect those gold mines. ;)

Awesome! Dwarves, gunpowder...just makes perfect sense.:D

Gunpowder mercenaries in a little add-on later on, say with the introduction of Dwarves, might be something to consider!

Little dwarves with big guns = $

That's okay, so long as half of them die in the sulfur mines :P

Hey, Dwarves are the race I want to play. They would definitely wear out orcs.:)

They're short, and will not only be suffering from black lung disease, but sulfur poisoning, how exactly do they plan on getting in range of my orcs to shoot them?

First off, they built up a tolerance like crack heads:). What they lack in height, they make up for in strength.

Plus, dwarves most likely wear the best obtainable armor, so those dingy orc arrows won´t even make it through.

Don't forget that they have the most epic beards since Epic Beard Man:p . Orcs don't even have beards.

People always seem to underestimate the deadliness of the dwarven beard for some reason. :confused:

Useful for storing the excessive amount of weapons as well:p

And it works as another layer of armor. try piercing that with any kind of weapon.:p
